In this new ad, from the California state council of SEIU, the country's largest union, clips from President-elect Obama's speeches are juxtaposed with arguments that Sacramento must change and provide revenues to support state spending on education and health.

One wonders if the president elect, who ran on a pledge to cut taxes for most Americans, appreciates being used to make the case for tax increases here.
